12

Yagi catches up with Ichi who had been drinking heavily, and invites him to have a drink while he reflects on the past. Yagi relates to Ichi the story of the Saegusa family who adopted a boy named Seinoshin who was cared for by a servant named Yaichi. After a son was born, both Seinoshin and Yaichi died in suspicious circumstances. Yagi suggests that the family arranged for Seinoshin to be kidnapped and Yaichi was thrown down a well to silence him. Ichi staggers home, recalling the time when he was kidnapped on his family's instructions. As Ichi stops on a bridge, Jin catches up with him and accuses him of killing one of the old gang members. Jin states that it was not Yaichi who organized Seinoshin's kidnapping. They draw their knives and attack each other, but Ichi manages to kill Jin. Later, Ichi visits Yaichi's grave to atone for blaming him for his kidnapping many years ago. He is still there when Masa finds him the next morning. The Five Leaves detect a change in Ichi, and Masa is more convinced that Ichi needs his protection. (Source: Wikipedia)
